TWELVE OF THE CHURCH'S HISTORIC COMMUNION CUPS
AS EXHIBITED IN THE LYMAN ALLYN MUSEUM, NEW LONDON
THE CHURCH'S COMMUNION SERVICE 1699-1819
One of the treasured inheritances of the First Church is its collec- tion of communion silver, consisting of sixteen cups given to the church by friends and members within a period covering three of the centuries of its existence. Although the church has been using the individual communion service since 1918, it nevertheless still employs four of its historic cups in the celebration of the Lord's Supper, in serving the minister and the assisting deacons.
In the winter of 1698, the ship Adventure was ice-bound in New London harbor. The following year, its owners, Christophers and Picket, presented two cups to the church in recognition of the many acts of kindness rendered to the captain and crew during its enforced stay here. These cups were the beginning of the collection and bear the inscription :
THE GIFT OF THE OWNERS OF THE SHIP ADVENTURE OF LONDON 1699
The next two read:
BELONGING TO THE FIRST CHURCH OF CHRIST ATT NEW LONDON 1724
The following year two cups were given in memory of Governor Saltonstall, the inscriptions reading:
THE GIFT OF THE HONBLE GURDON SALTONSTALL, ESQR. TO THE FIRST CHURCH OF CHRIST IN NEW LONDON 1725
[107]
The First Church of Christ in New London
The seventh cup, in memory of his widow, reads: THE GIFT OF MARY SALTONSTALL TO THE FIRST CHURCH, NEW LONDON 1726
Next in order come two cups which commemorate the Fox family living on Fisher's Island, necessitating a voyage across the Sound to attend service. The inscriptions read :
THE GIFT OF THE WIDOW ELIZA FOX TO THE FIRST CHURCH IN N. LONDON 1742
The tenth cup is inscribed :
GIVEN TO THE FIRST CHURCH, NEW LONDON BY ELIZABETH RICHARDS RELICT OF GUY RICHARDS, ESQ. 1793
Then follow four cups, gifts of the same donor, engraved: GIVEN TO THE FIRST CHURCH, NEW LONDON BY HARRIET LEWIS RELICT OF JAMES LEWIS, ESQR. 1819
The fifteenth was the gift of Deacon Jedediah Huntington's daughter, and reads:
THE GIFT OF ELIZABETH MOORE HUNTINGTON TO THE FIRST CHURCH, NEW LONDON 1819
The last cup is inscribed : THE GIFT OF SOPHIA RICHARDS TO THE FIRST CHURCH, NEW LONDON 1819
To celebrate the century mark for the six youngest cups of the historic collection, on December 14, 1919, Mr. Danforth preached a commemoration sermon entitled "Our Inheritance," using as his text John 4:38. At this time the entire collection was placed on the Com- munion Table.

"Let us then, as we reflect this day upon all that the founders of the First Church in New London have trans- mitted to us, engrave upon the tablets of our memories these further words of the great Emancipator, 'It is for us, the living, rather, to be here dedicated to the unfinished work which they who fought here, have thus far so nobly advanced! " From the Tercentenary Sermon delivered May 10, 1942 by the Rev. George Avery Neeld.
